This complete KS3 Industrial Revolution bundle contains 14 fully resourced, enquiry-based History lessons covering the causes and consequences of industrialisation, factory life, child labour, coal mining, reform, crime and punishment, prisons, policing, the Luddites and Jack the Ripper — plus a bonus Titanic lesson.
